This is a Japanese television drama which I finished watching this a few weeks ago and had no time to post it. ^^" The reason i watch this drama is due to Oda Yuji. I watch 2 drama of him last time. The first being 踊る大捜査線(Odoru Daisousasen) which i like a lot. 2nd is Last Christmas which i like him acting with Yada Akiko. Other than him,i heard of 2 person. One is Kitagawa Keiko and the other is Kitano Kii. Keiko is through The Fast and The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift. Kii is through LIFE. But these 2 i didn't pay much attention last time so i decided to give it a try on the drama. After seeing the picture of the drama, i knew it's a fun and cheerful drama as it's a school near beach. This drama tells a lot of things we encounter and how to overcome it, and meaning of life. Last episode especially, there is a part where Yuji tell that makes me think meaningful.

This is a Japanese television drama which aired on Fuji TV starting May 12, 2008. Actually, Politics never really interests me and i don't understand about it seriously. Moreover, watching it will be more bored and had no climax and this is my first thought.
However, i give it a try as Kimura Takuya acted in it. I been watching his drama on television whenever i was young. I bet none who don't know him.. =D So, i start to watch [Change] and to my surprise, i got stuck to the first episode, i like the tempo and atmosphere in the drama with exciting plots and funny scenes.. In this drama, I learn that not all politicians are bad and there is some really wish to help those citizens and the whole country. I really think Kimura Takuya acted really well and makes me think he is really a genius in acting. Other cast in it are good as well, some adds laughter and some adds fury.. ^^

Story:
The story begins with the deaths of ruling party's Fukuoka legislator and his eldest son, his heir apparent, in an accident. It is decided that a by-election will be held, and Kanbayashi Masaichi, the leader of the ruling party, and secretary Miyama Rika conceive the idea of fielding the second son, Asakura Keita, who had been renounced by his father.
After Keita graduated from senior high school, he went on to a university in Nagano because he wanted to live in a place with beautiful stars, and eventually became an elementary school teacher over there. Well-liked by children and satisfied with his beloved star gazing, Keita has no interest in the world of politics. However, at Rika's persuasion and the pressure of his family, he reluctantly decides to announce his candidacy.
Upon returning to Fukuoka, Keita is given a hearty welcome by supporters. The election strategist, Nirasawa Katsutoshi, arrives there. He is guided by the notion "election is the only permitted legal war" and begins Keita's election campaign.
There is last episodes scenes where he say his speech to the whole country. To my surprise and i think to the surprise of all Japanese and all people who watch this drama because no one(i think) ever speak a 22mins30secs 1 to 1 talk with the camera. This is really shocking. I was a bit shock because around 16mins+, he cried. I seen a video and it say that he had a no NG(No Good), manage to do it with one shot and the scripts is 15-pages long. 0.0 Indeed, i like him a lot after this!! =D Give it a try and i bet you won't regret.. ^^
-Episode 7 was 15 minutes longer than the regular episodes. -Episode 10 was 30 minutes longer than the regular episodes. -Because of a late start, episodes 8 and onward were actually aired during the typical Summer 2008 season.

I really like this video. The song is nice, lyrics is touching and the video is great too. Every song of GReeeeN is encouraging and makes me feel no matter what difficulties i encounter, i will never give up. ^^ By the way, the song is also their 7th Singles, their highest selling of Singles and is also the theme song for the drama "ROOKIES".

何十年 何百年 何千年 時を超えよう 君を愛してる nanjuunen, nanbyakunen, nansennen, toki wo koeyou kimi wo aishiteru in about ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, beyond time, I'll love you.
(*1): [巡り会う] "meguriau" means "to meet again", but has a sense of doing so "by design of destiny". meaning you don't use it i normal conversation when you're talking to the neighborhood baker upon buying bread. (*2): here he says [愛しい君へ], which literally stands for "to my beloved". in a letter, the recipient is addressed with "e" after the name, while the person writing ends with a (name) yori - "from (name)". (*3): the literal translation of [想いよ届け!] would be "speak your mind/heart!" - in this case it's clear it yields more to heart - but it sounded a bit off-key and I decided on a more simple expression.
